摘要
Option prices contain important information about risk preferences. This study proposes an option-based model to estimate the optimal dynamic hedging ratio. Using a sample of S&P 500 index, we find that the option-implied hedging ratio has the best performance both in-sample and out-of-sample due to its relative risk aversion. This finding will help risk managers reduce their hedging risk.
